The air might be cool this season but don’t stop to breathe a sigh of relief yet, for it might be that breath you take that could be most questionable. Monsoons bring no respite from air pollution. In fact, the level of dust, bacteria and allergens rise during this season, making everyone prone to cold, flu and other allergies.
Of course, it's difficult to insulate yourself from outdoor pollution, and indoor air quality isn’t the purest and safest either. Breathing clean air has become a serious issue of our times, and we can begin to solve it by making sure that at least the air in our homes is pure enough.

This makes owning air purifiers more important than ever. This gadget is equipped with filters that purify the air of the mould, bacteria and other particles in it. One such important filter is the HEPA filter in the air purifier.
HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. This is a type of air filter that forces air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles like dust mites, pollen, pet dander and smoke. A test criteria by the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology dictates that a HEPA filter must trap 99.7 per cent of particulates 0.3 microns or larger.
In addition to HEPA filters, there are many other purifying technologies such as UV, activated carbon and ozone, which serve multiple purposes. Yet the biggest advantage of owning a HEPA filter air purifier is that you can ensure that contaminants will be removed on a microscopic level. So, go ahead and take a deep breath now with these HEPA technology air purifiers.
